The Buccaneers are doing a great job of keeping the band together.
Shortly after the free agent negotiation window opened Monday, Shaq Barrett, a passerby, texted Josina Anderson with news that should make Bucs fans really happy. Barrett, who signed with the team in 2019 and played under the franchise label in 2020, says he is coming back.
“I am go back to Tampa, ”Barrett wrote.
There is no word on any terms of the deal, which comes after the team re-signed linebacker Lavonte David and used the franchise label on wide receiver Chris Godwin. An extension for fullback Tom Brady helped free up the cap space, and the team plans to bring back the core of the Super Bowl LV champions for another run.
